Posted on by Anand Agarwal

Hello All,

I want to create user defined keyboard shortcut example if I press (CTRL + B ) then it should click form specific button.

I found one java script code from MS community but, I do't know where to write and how to write. Could someone explain me formCommandAttribute with some examples.

below script I found from MS community

Shortcuts: { Name: { Keys: { modifier1: true, modifier2:true, keyCode: $dyn.ui.KeyCodes.* }, // Only specify the modifiers you need // (between alt, ctrl/meta, shift) Handler: function (evt) { // Code to handle shortcut. }, // Additional code. }

Thank & regards

Anand

Hi Anand,

The documentation from Microsoft can be found here: docs.microsoft.com/.../keyboard-shortcuts-controls

It might help you. In the menu, you can find also documentation about how to build an extensible control.

Hi Anand,

The FormCommandAttribute is applied to a method in your control class, which allows the method to be called from a control’s JavaScript class.

docs.microsoft.com/.../extensible-control-programming-reference

A tutorial explaining how to implement extensible controls：

Hello All,

Thank you so much for reply.

I tried all links it looks difficult in case of KeyDown

I started to learn Java script, it looks possible but I could not find the call stack of below java script.

Shortcuts: $dyn.extendPrototype($dyn.controls.Form.prototype.Shortcuts, {

    InvokeDefaultButton: {

        Keys: { keyCode: $dyn.ui.KeyCodes.enter },

        Handler: function (evt) {

            this.executeShortcuts(false, "InvokeDefaultButton");

        }

    },

})

It would be very helpful for me if you can provide some code sample related to HotKey and KeyDown symbol.

Do you have any sample code for KeyDown function ?

Thanks

Anand

Hi Anand,

Apart from the documentation provided above, I'm not aware of any code example. I don't have it available as I never used this part.

Hello All,

Thank you so much for referring me below sites.

Currently, I am able to use keydown functionality with only new controls.

There are two types of control standard (Form string control) and we can create user defined control (BasicUserEntryControl).

BasicUserEntryControl : I created new control at form design then written java script code and HTML code, then when I press anything at key board the alert message occur shown below :

Form string control (AX Input) : This is standard control, If I use standard control then keydown button will not occur.

Now my question is How can I extend standard control to achieve keydown functionality ?

In my form I have standard fields as "FormStringControl" I want to implement keydown functionality at formstringcontrol.
